Take Me Away Page #4

- Here I was...

- So it was afterwards?

- Yes, a couple of years later.

How much is it?

Ask Father Pierluigi.

There he is.

Italo, pour me another one.

Why are you

getting drunk instead of

being with

your wife at her first showing?

Forget that.

It's pointless doing things for women.

About your son's little gypsy girl...

Do you know what happened?

They robbed the Cesaroni's

when they were on holiday.

Fantoni's wife saw them.

She never sleeps.

She said it was three gypsy girls

from the camp out front.

We told her to press charges

but she doesn't want trouble.

We need to do something.

I've got enough sh*t to deal with!

How are you?

I'm fine.

Is your mother selling her paintings?

No, she already sold them.

It's just a showing.

I couldn't care less.

I'm angry at you.

We promised

we wouldn't see each other.

You did because you're a jerk.

No, you promised too.

I was there, I heard you.

Yes, but I was faking it.

You promised you'd marry me

then you said

you don't even look at me.

I bet if someone else asks you.

you'd promise anything,

a**hole.

You dirty pig,

leave Giampiero alone!

Room twenty, please.

- For the kid?

- De Angelis, I'm his father.

- Relax.

- Is it serious?

- Tell me what happened.

- They're treating him.

He got beat up, they're treating him.

Wait for them to finish.

- Relax.

- Relax, my ass!

The doctor said it's not serious.

A couple weeks in bed

and he'll be fine.

This is your fault, kid.

Be quiet.

The Carabinieri chief

is waiting for me to press charges.

Why did they do this?

You tell me, Luciana!

Where are you going?

What is it, sweetie?

Don't strain yourself,

tell me tomorrow.

Where's Romana?

What?

Grandma's little boy,

what did they do?

This is a warrant

from the city government.

It says you can't stay here.

You have 48 hours to leave.

You've been given

temporary arrangements.

Get those gypsies out of here!

We worked hard around here.

He just had to get involved.

Will you stop talking?

Listen honey,

if it weren't for my money

you'd have to work,

not be an artist.

And those paintings...

Don't get me started.

What's wrong with them?

They're ugly!

And look at how you dress.

Can I help you?

This is Alfredo De Angelis's mother,

he was just arrested.

I'm just dropping her off.

Have a nice day, everyone.

Who are you?

I'm looking for Romana's mother.

- Why?

- To talk,

it's about my son Giampiero,

Romana's homework friend.

I remember. Come with me.

I wanted to tell you

they're releasing

our husbands tomorrow.

What do you want from me?

Nothing, I'm sorry.

I was wondering

about Romana.

My son is sad

because he doesn't know

where she is.

My daughter is gone.

She's with an evil relative.

Where did they take her?

Quiet!

The Carabinieri gave you 48 hours,

we're giving you two!

After that,

we'll be back to shoot you all!

Now be quiet while

my friend pays back a favor.

You come here.

Which trailer's yours?

All right, I'll just burn them all.

Look who's here.

Does your husband know?

Othello?

What are you doing?

We're doing it

for your son too, move!

You idiot!

Please, this is my house.

It's all I have.

Shut up or you're all dead.

I'll shoot the first one to breathe!

That's good, let's go.

Two hours, that's all!

You're a pig!

You make me sick.

You and these gypsies

make me sick.

I'm Italo, that's right.

Me and the other guys...

I did what needed to be done

to get rid of this trash.

This run-down disgusting mess.

You animal!

If you even think

of going to the police,

I swear to God,

I'll kill you.

A horrible thing happened.

What?

Please, help me.

I don't know where to go,

or what to do... Please help me.

Relax and tell me what happened.

- Is it your husband?

- They said they'd kill me,

They said they'd kill me

if I tell the police. - Who?

They burnt those poor people's trailers,

- the gypsies.

- Gypsies? What are you saying?

- They said they'd kill me.

- What did you do? Why you?

Because I was there, I saw them.

I saw what they did.

I was there because of my son

and I saw what they did,

I recognized them.

- You recognized them?

- Two of them.

They're friends of Alfredo.

One is

a drink supplier

and the other one owns a bar.

A bar?

You mean Italo?

Yes, you know him?

I defended him in court once.

You probably got him off too.

I'm a lawyer.

This time

he's gone too far.

Are you willing to report him?

Yes.

Take me home.

I'm innocent!

Let me go,

I'm innocent. Mommy!

Hi, Grandma.

Hi, sweetie.

Look what Grandma brought you.

Snacks, fruit juice

and oranges to get vitamins.

I'm sorry I couldn't come before,

but how can I with the store?

It's okay, Grandma.

Ever since it happened,

your dad only works half days.

Your mother tattled.

They hate us.

I thought about closing the shop...

Your mother moved out,

your dad is always depressed.

In my day,

a woman would get slapped for that!

I don't care anymore.

I don't want to move house.

Kids don't make decisions,

adults do.

Grandma...

I need a favor,

but you can't tell anyone.

Don't even read it,

promise?

Yes, I promise.

You have to give it to Romana,

she lives in front of us.

The gypsies don't live there anymore.

And neither do you.

FAILED:

What's your name?

Giampiero.

Your mother said you were here.

I have something for you.

What?

A letter from Romana.

She said to ask your grandmother

for your address.

"Dear Giampiero,

I hope you're okay

and that you still remember me.

I always think of you

and tell everyone how good you are.

I hope you passed second grade

so you can go to university.

I'm fine, I am a housewife now.

But I can't leave so I'm a little sad.

Everyone cares about me here

but I'd like to go to the movies.

They won't let me.

Once I tried and

they punched me.

They broke a tooth.

I didn't cry,

but I'm ugly now

and can't be an actress anymore.

Come save me

or I'll kill myself.

We're somewhere by the sea,

and we'll be here for a while.

Come take me away,

but be careful.

They'll kill you

if they catch you.

Come soon, Romana. "

All right,

I'll take you home.

But I'm going out for a while.

I have to find him.

I'm worried, Alfredo.

Have you heard from

the gypsy girl?

No, no one has.

Not her parents or relatives,

no one.

Giampiero can't stop

thinking about her.

He's so young yet

he acts like it's the love of his life.

I know this isn't the right time,

but it's better that I tell you now.

Mom sold the store,

she can't take it anymore.

The money's mine...

It isn't very much,

but it's not too little either.

If you want,

we can go somewhere else.

Either a different city, or abroad.

Abroad...

Please, Luciana.

Give me another chance.

I've always loved you.

Romana, wake up...

I'm here to save you,

let's go!

- Is that you?

- Of course,

let's go!

You can wear my shoes.

No, it's cold and you'll get sick.

Look,

my tooth is broken.

You can't even tell.

They broke it.
